Update features and map files

David to update the Orbit build process and try multi-versions in the map files. If everything works out he will combine the map and feature files. Note: Does this mean we are down to 1 feature.xml and 1 map file now?

Looks like we are close (need update from David)

Features can handle multiple versions of the same bundle.

Are there problems with PDE/Build when building multiple versions of the same bundle when it is a singleton?

Tom says there is a dev flag for the State to allow for multiple versions of singleton plug-ins to resolve at the same time.

Also allows for bundles to be resolved against non-resolved dependent bundles.

Action: DJ to talk to Pascal and confirm there are no problems.Created bug 177425

Xerces

There are some open issues with the Xerces bundle around splitting the API bundle into mutliple JARs.

Need to get status from David

Other discussion topics

Orbit Milestone

The Platform M6 milestone is March 23 and the Orbit milestone is n-1 so its this week. Are there any remaining issues to address before we graduate a build?

Qualifiers

Some pre-built bundles (like ICU 3.4.5) have exact versions in the manifest. Since they are pre-built should we leave them as-is or should we be adding ".qualifier" to the bundle version? Also, if we don't add the qualifier, then we should remove the ".qualifier" from the version in the feature.xml file.

As soon as we modify anything in the bundle, then we should take that opportunity to add a qualifier to the bundle version if its missing.

Signing doesn't count.

Should we re-sign if already signed? Yes...goal is to say "this is the one we got from Eclipse".
